2nd Angel's Message - "Babylon"

Another angel followed, saying, ‘Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. Revelation 14:8

I. Babylon

"Following the confusion of languages at the Tower of Babel, the name “Babylon” became connected with the Hebrew word balal, “to confound.” 

--In Bible prophecy, Babylon is a vivid symbol of religious confusion

—which is seen when professed Christians do not teach according to the Bible. 

--So therefore, “Babylon” refers to Christians or churches that have teachings and doctrines that are not based in God’s Word, the Scriptures.

And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top
may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: 

Genesis 11:4,9

Three Elements of Fall of Tower of Babel
1. Unity
2. THEY HONOR FOR THEMSELVES
3. CONFUSION

The message of Revelation 14 announcing the fall of Babylon, must apply to religious bodies that were once pure and have become corrupt. 

--Since this message follows the warning of the Judgment, it must be given in the last days, therefore it cannot refer to the Romish Church, for that church has been in a fallen condition for many centuries. Protestant faith in all the countries of Christendom; and these churches are included in the solemn and terrible denunciation of the second angel.

The fallen denominational churches are Babylon. 

Babylon has been fostering poisonous doctrines, the wine of error. This wine of error is made up of false doctrines, such as 

--the natural immortality of the soul, 

--the eternal torment of the wicked, 

--the denial of the pre-existence of Christ prior to His birth, 

--and advocating and exalting the first day of the week above God’s holy and sanctified seventh day."
